What does Dooley have to do with 2 yrs ago as Go SWLa wrote?

I don't know, I was responding to a specific post.

That was who we seemed to be at one point. At least I thought so. Not recently, though.
I used to approach every Saturday with the belief we could win, no matter how undermanned we appeared. And the product on the field was fun to watch.
Not anymore. I would not have been shocked at a loss to SELA or anyone else on the schedule. When we're up going into the fourth quarter, I brace myself for disappointment (which doesn't have the sting it once did).

Watch it, the baseball ticket fiasco will be the end for many.

Yep, I’m waiting to see what sort of flim flam ticket screwing they throw at me this time. I’m just one more Tech swindle away from never supporting or attending anything again. I’ve been at it for 40+ years and I’m teetering on the edge of being done for good.

And the saddest thing is they truly don't care about destroying their loyal fan base, they don't care about trying to build loyal fans in the students and graduates either. They haven't for a long time. They just care about the handful of older big donors. Every time one of them passes away, they need us more, but it seems they work harder to piss us off and drive us away.
Re: Has Guice, Holtz and the former AD guided Tech to irrelevance?
The simple truth of the matter is they don't care. They have no bigger ideas than what is in front of them. So they are always reactive, not proactive.
Dr. Wood has gone into a shell and has no clue what is going on.
Dr. Guice is "blindsided" by these moves.
There is no greater vision than reaction.
Marshall will NOT be in a conference with UTEP ever again, so they are leaving. USM is taking a life raft. The C-USA titanic is sinking, and there is NOT a single visionary leader at the top. Just passive reactive ones.
You mean our new facilities and better academics couldn't bypass UTSA's crappy facilities and academics because we are small market? Yep. Nobody bothered to come up with a plan B, because nobody is leading the ship.

I am with you, I am a 4th generation graduate, so proud that I may have cried during my graduation. Screw with baseball tickets and I'll never attend another Louisiana Tech sporting event. I 100% expect to lose my seat or get moved thanks to a gold lot member who first time season ticket holder for baseball.
Re: Has Guice, Holtz and the former AD guided Tech to irrelevance?
Well...we could park all other sports in the Southland Conference and have football go indy. It actually could work. Regardless of what happens, I am so glad we have Guice as prez because "he gets it." Just think how bad things would be if DR was still in charge...why, we might have ended up being abandoned again and left without a viable FBS conference. Whew! glad that won't happen...:icon_roll:

That's a really good post.

Actually, I don't think going "Indy" is the death nail it used to be. We could probably schedule an FCS like we always do, plus BYU, UMASS, Liberty, Army, NMSU, UCONN and CUSAer's UTEP, Marshall, MTSU, WKU, ODU & FIU. That's 13 games without trying.

We might be required to play 2 money games again like in years past. But that won’t be tough to put together. Also, I can’t imagine that USM wouldn’t be open to keeping a series going.

We'll play y'all.

How would our recruiting be impacted as an Independent?

Rick,
If they didn't want to play the Cajuns after beating us twice during the Hud era, they damn sure don't want a piece of UL now! They should probably hang onto those last victories for as long as they can, because those days are long gone!
